"Little Red Caboose"

       
  1. Little red caboose, little red caboose,
Little red caboose behind the train, the train.
Smokestack on it's back, going down the track.
Little red caboose behind the train.
Woo-woo-woo!
 
 
2.
Little red caboose, little red caboose,
Little red caboose behind the train, the train.
Coming round the bend, hanging on the end.
Little red caboose behind the train.
Woo-woo-woo!
